DeleteCodedConcept Method

Summary

Deletes the specified Coded Concept from the Context Group to which it belongs.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

public DicomCodedConcept DeleteCodedConcept( 
   DicomCodedConcept codedConcept 
)

- (nullable LTDicomCodedConcept *)deleteCodedConcept:(LTDicomCodedConcept *)codedConcept;

public: 
DicomCodedConcept^ DeleteCodedConcept(  
   DicomCodedConcept^ codedConcept 
)

Parameters

codedConcept
Coded Concept to be deleted.

Return Value

An adjacent Coded Concept in the same Context Group. This Concept is the one immediately following the Concept being deleted or the one immediately preceding it if no Concepts follow the Concept being deleted. null if No Coded Concepts are left in the Context Group of the deleted Coded Concept.

Remarks

If a Context Group in the Context Group Table has a corresponding Group in the internal table maintained by LEADTOOLS, then you can use the Default method to discard any changes made to the Context Group, including the deletions of any Coded Concepts that originally belong to the Context Group, as stored in the internal table.
